How Well's The Code 3 Pulley Work?
 

I am just wonderin, a month or so ago all the talk was the "NEW Code-3 S/C PULLEY"
Will it work?
Will it slip?
Will it chew up belts?
Will it compare to the 178mm,181mm, 185mm?
I am wondering how it has turned out for it's customers?
CUSTOMERS, Let us know...
Please, suppliers or retailers need not comment. We know you think it's great.

They updated the Code3 site and it says that it will perform the same as a 178 pulley. I washoping for more so I think if I go the pulley route I'll get a 185.

The 185mm is what I run and it's great

Re: How Well's The Code 3 Pulley Work?
 

I'd still like to see another dyno on the Code 3 pulley. The dyno graph posted in the Code 3 pulley thread just doesn't make sense to me.

Re: How Well's The Code 3 Pulley Work?
 

so far mine has ran flawlessly. i will try to get on a dyno soon, my car ran a 8.2 @ 86.55mph with just an intake so I would hope for a nice improvement with the pulley now.

i should be able to get on the dyno in the next 2 weeks i hope.

Re: How Well's The Code 3 Pulley Work?
 

I'd be REALLY grateful to see a dyno on your car, Photoman. I've also got the NeedsWings CAI, and I'm getting an LET tune in a couple weeks. So the only diff between yours and mine would be the Code3 pulley.

Re: How Well's The Code 3 Pulley Work?
 

i will see if i can run up this saturday, the nearest dyno is 3 hours away :(

Gator, obviously you can move in the direction you choose respecting the
various pulley's on the market, but bang for the buck, the Code3 is at the
front of the class. Look at what you pay for the 178, and then look at what
you pay to get the same performance with the Code3. Just a thought.

I agree with Coyote. I'm a definite skeptic of the Code3 pulley, but I just bought one. I spoke with Brandon on the phone, and he was very helpful. He answered all my questions, and even expididted my order, so that I can install my pulley in time for the Carlisle All Chrysler Nationals. I'm also thankful that Brandon had C32 dyno graphs on his site. Based on the dyno graph in this thread, I would never have bought one. Then compare prices between the Code3 and the 178mm pulleys, and it's a no brainer. Of course, if you want even more power, you can add a 178mm pulley. But I like the idea that it's practically undetectable by the warranty folks, and it performs equivalent to a 178mm crank pulley without over revving the other components. It just makes sense.

Give me a couple of weeks, and I'll post a full review.

I now have over 1,000 miles on mine and the belt still looks brand new. zero issues.

Re: How Well's The Code 3 Pulley Work?
 

Oh, my appologies. I was under the impression that the 178mm pullies came alone, not with underdrive pullies for the other accessories. I stand corrected!

Re: How Well's The Code 3 Pulley Work?
 

you better stand corrected because i think montana is about ready to stab someone!



im a little scared!

Good thing he lives in Montana! I'm several states away. ;)

All I know, is that I'm very excited, since I just got my Code3 pulley installed today. WooHoo!!

Re: How Well's The Code 3 Pulley Work?
 

Not looking to start an argument, but there are at least 6 functioning
pulleys (not counting idler/tensioner pulleys), so if you get 3 with the
kit, 3 components are being over driven. Whether that be the power
steering, alternator, water pump or what doesn't matter, there are
other components being over driven. I think that is why the Evosport
kit provides more pulleys than one gets with the LET or even Renntech
kits.

I doubt anything is being overstessed with ANY of the pulleys. We have forged AMG motors that are more than capable of taking a beating. Look at all the 03/04 Terminator Cobra guys that bolt on Kenny Bells and whatnot. Many of these guys are running 500-600 RWHP with NO issues. GNXS who occasionally posts on here is about to hit 100000 miles on his Cobra and he has over 300 1/4 mile passes on the motor. If ford can do it then Mercedes better be able to!

Re: How Well's The Code 3 Pulley Work?
 

I would certainly agree with these cars being very well built, and can take
a lot of punishment... but don't forget the IC pump ;). I would suspect,
that as with most mechanical devices that the service life will be less the
harder the component is pushed. So, maybe these items last 100k instead
of 150k miles, or maybe they will fail sooner. But I'm fairly sure that they
will not last as long as they would were they running a the designed rpm.

BTW, real happy to see you were able to keep your SRT. Thought we were
going to lose a very valuable member when you dropped out for a while.
Looking forward to reading more of your exploits in modding and running down the competition.

Re: How Well's The Code 3 Pulley Work?
 

I know that with the ASP kit, ALL accessories are being overdriven with a larger crank pulley. That smaller water pump pulley you get actually speeds the water pump up even faster. The only reason you get that is to clear the larger crank pulley that would contact the stock water pump pulley if not changed. The ASP kit has NO UNDERDRIVING of any accessories. I think this is the case with some of the other overdrive crank pulley kits too. In theory this should shorten accessory life, but I haven't heard of any issues yet.

Re: How Well's The Code 3 Pulley Work?
 

I just installed my new Code-3 Pulley 2 days ago along with a LET ECU tune and it feels great! The seat of the pants improvement is well worth it. I just need to go back to the track and see how much better it will do now.
